According to a New York Post report, a situation on a subway train turned deadly when one passenger put a screaming vagrant in a chokehold; the vagrant was pronounced dead soon after.
The vagrant, 30-year-old Jordan Neely, was screaming on the F Train when a 24-year-old man stepped in.
From The New York Post:
The 24-year-old passenger stepped in after the vagrant, identified by sources as Jordan Neely, 30, began going on an aggressive rant on a northbound F train Monday afternoon, according to police and a witness who took the video.
“He starts to make a speech,” freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vazquez said in Spanish during an interview Tuesday, referring to the disturbed man.
“He started screaming in an aggressive manner,” Vazquez told The Post. “He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired and doesn’t care if he goes to jail. He started screaming all these things, took off his jacket, a black jacket that he had, and threw it on the ground.”
That’s when he said the straphanger came up behind Neely and took him to the ground in a chokehold — keeping him there for some 15 minutes, Vazquez said.
The 24-year-old man was released without charges and declined to comment on the event.
The investigation is ongoing.
